On the eve of the abolishment of the
twenty justice of the peace courts in
Atlanta and the establishment of the
new Municipal Court system Chief
Judge Eugene D. Thomas, of the
Municipal Court, declared Saturday
that the city would witness one of
hie greatest reforms in its history.
Reports that some of the justices of
the peace would attempt to stay the
inauguration of the new courts by .in i
appeal to higher tribunals seem I » •
have been founded on frail deternr- '
nation. Judfc Tlvomas said he did
not expect *iny such opposition.
“There has been such an over
whelming demand in Atlanta for the
abolishment of the justice of the peace
system that I don’t think anyone will
have the nerve to come out in the
open and oppose the change,” he said,
“especially since there is no apparent
legal grounds.
Will Stop Many Evils.
'‘The new court will pull the teeth
of the ‘loan sharks’ and stop the prac_
tice of using criminal procedure to
collect debts. It will stop the seizure
of property without regard to a citi
zen’s homestead rights.
“I don’t want to be in the attitude
of bringing an indictment against all
the justices of the peace in Atlanta.
Many of them are fine citizens and
have done good work in upholding the
lawu
“But that here have been terrible
abuses, especially by some of the
justice of the peace court bailiffs,
even the Justices themselves will ad
mit.”
Judge Thomas gave an interesting
description of just what the change,
which goes into effect January 4.
would mean. On that day, which Is
the first Monday in January, the
new* court will convene in its rooms
on the first floor of the Temple Court
Building.
Instead of twenty justices of the
peace. with «ome 50 bailiffs handling
the ^mall legal business of the city,
it will he done by seven judges, ten
marshals, six deputies and clerks.
Personnel of Court.
For the Fulton County part of At
lanta the judges will be Mr. Thom vs,
Luther Z. Rosser, Jr.. L. F. McClel
land. T. O. Hathcock and J. B. Rid
ley. For the DeKalb County part W.
E. Q. Baker and T. H. Fincher, now'
justices of Hie peace, will serve.
The jurisdiction of the Fulton
County division has been raised from
$100. the limit of the present courts,
to $500. The DeKalb County judges
will have the same jurisdiction as the
present justices* of the peace.
What Is most important is that a
plaintiff won’t have the privilege of
selecting his judge, as he does at
present. Frequently, under the pres
ent system, a complainanr will have
a case against a man living on Wash
ington street tried by a justice on Ma
rietta street, or at some such incon
gruous location. With the Municipal
Court the chief judge will assign the
cases.

Part in Beilis Case
Leading Member of Kieff Bar ‘Pun
ished’ by Order of Minister of
Justice for Aiding Jew.
Special Cable to The American.
KIEFF, Dec. 20.—A tragic after-
math of the Beilis trial developed to
day. when Arnold Margolin, one of
the foremost local lawyers, was dis
barred by a court composed of 50
judges in the presence of all the prin
cipal lawyers and a large assemblage
of other leading citizens.
Margolin was accused of having
engaged private detectives to dis
cover the real murderer of the boy.
Andre Yushinsky, and of having gone
personally to Kharkov to endeavor to
persuade Vera Cheberyak to tell the
truth regarding the murder.
When the verdict was announced a
howl -of indignation arose. It was
understood it was returned in ac
cordance with instruction from the
Minister of Justice.

sistants destroyed six large copper

Depot Crowd Cheers Sleuths
Gang Busy Here a Month
Believed Broken Up.
An investigation is being made by
the Atlanta detective department of
the records of the three alleged pick
pockets captured Saturday afternoon
near the Union Station, after a thrill
ing chase.
Max Fine, one of the trio, is be
lieved by the local police to be a
clever petty thief of New York. A
gang of pickpockets, among whom
are two women, has been working
boldly in Atlanta for the last month.
Abo|i 50 persons have been robbed
of purses, some of the hauLs being
from $100 to $200.
The police believe that in Fine and
his comrades'? who gave their names
as Louis Gozzollo, of Baltimore, and
William Hoffman, of South Bend,
ind.. they have the ringleaders. Two
of the gang who have been par
tially identified as Fine and Qoxftollo
a few days ago attempted to show
their lack of regard for the ability
of the local detective force by braz
enly lifting a purse containing $08
from Detective Hollingsworth.
Several hundred persons witnessed
the pursuit and capture of the trio
Saturday. Detectives Andrews and
Cowan had been detailed to watch the
Union Station. Their suspicions were
aroused when they observed three
men Jostling their way through the
crowd and hoarding the Seaboard
Air Line train. They followed, but
the men took alarm and jumped off,
dashing in different directions for
safety.
Andrews sprinted after Fine while
several hundred passengers looking
from the car windows yelled encour
agement. He caught him after a
chase of about a block. Cowan grab
bed Gozzollo, and the third man.
Hoffman, ran toward Central avenue,
throwing purses away as he fled. He
was caught by Policeman W. R.
Jones.
More than $200 was found on the
three men.

Poison Theory Denied
In Policeman's Death
An investigation hv the police Sat
urday developed that there was no
foundation for the suspicion that Po
liceman A. E. Willey came to his
death December 16 by poisoning at
the hands of an enemy. • An ante
mortem statement by Willey was:
“They’ve got me now; I’ve been pois
oned.”
Detectives said Saturday night that
they could find no one suspected of
being an enemy of Willey. Dr. Virgil
C. Cook, who attended the policeman,
said: “I have no reason to believe
that he was poisoned.”
